David is a thoughtful member in the art room. In a creative environment, it is important to be an active contributor that respectfully acknowledges the work of others while they build their own body of work. David is that student. With his steady, quiet demeanor, he listens to fellow students as they share their design ideas and plans and jumps in to help if asked. Through all of this, David has constructed a beautiful portfolio of drawings, paintings and photography.
Grade Level: Freshman
Previous School: Heritage Middle School (Berwyn)
Recently, Jonathan has shown a significant leap in class. He takes responsibility for himself and is quick to offer an explanation to those around him as well. Jonathan rarely has a negative thing to say – a rare quality!Name: Luis Torres
Grade Level: Senior
Previous School: Fuentes
Luis is one of a kind. He is never short on jokes, is a leader in the classroom and in athletics and is constantly thinking of others. He is an asset to the school community and probably has the largest Shamrock beanie collection in the school. St. Pat’s will certainly be losing one of the greats when he graduates!
